Research and Markets: Green Environment and Intelligent Transportation Systems: Assessment Technologies and Markets

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/d8c30c/green_environment) has
announced the addition of the "Green Environment and Intelligent Transportation
Systems: Assessment Technologies and Markets" report to their offering.

This report extends Practel's research on the Intelligent Transportation System.
It analyzes a wide variety of issues associated with the development of the
transportation industry, including:

* Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and Information and Communications
Technologies (ICT)-shows their inter-relation and the ITS role in the reduction
of transport pollutions.
* Details ITS structure and applications with emphasis on a road towards the
green society.
* Details applications of ICT in transport-progress in the developing of radar
and communications to reduce the probability of accidents.
* Provides a projection of the current ITS progress into integration with
Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN).
* Provides the market estimate of ITS segments.

ITS make it possible to imagine a future in which cars will be able to foresee
and avoid collisions, navigate the quickest route to their destination, making
use of up-to-the minute traffic reports, identify the nearest available parking
slot and minimize cars carbon emissions. The main motivation for ITS is the
improvement of road safety; as a byproduct to this, ITS plays a significant role
in the mitigation of the GHG affect on our environment-there are estimates that
in the mature development ITS may reduce the amount of pollutions from transport
by 35%-50%.

Standards work in ITS have been ongoing for more than 30 years, including such
organizations as ITU, ETSI, IEEE, and ISO.

ITS development, at the present time, mostly concentrated on a car itself; an
exception is "intelligent" tolling. Symbiosis of car operation functions with
enhancement supported by radar and telecommunications technologies seems to be a
very effective way to construct a car as a part of ITS. The goal is to reduce
probability of driver's mistakes, which are the main cause of accidents. This
goal can be achieved by putting a burden to analyze the road situation and to
make decisions based on such an analysis on a computer. Such a computer
operation is supported by radars for sensing the road situation and by
telecommunications devices to communicate with other vehicles, an intelligent
road and law enforcement/emergency personnel.

The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and
relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the
information content.
